Claudette Colbert steps outside her usual sphere to take the part of the mother in Fanny Hurst's "Imitation of Life," which fortunately quite exceeds the intricacies of real living.

With such arrestingly waggish words Author Fannie Hurst (Mrs. Jacques S. Danielson) this week slapped down the first course of her latest table d'hote, Anitra's Dance. Many a reader whose appetite rejoices in hearty fare tucked in his napkin, smacked his lips and fell to with a will.
